Sermon: Living with Expectation Because Jesus Has a Greater Plan

When Jesus entered Jerusalem riding on a donkey, the crowds welcomed Him with celebration, hoping for a political king who would change their circumstances. But Jesus had something far greater in mind. He came not to meet their immediate expectations, but to fulfill a redemptive plan that would transform their lives for eternity.

In this Palm Sunday message from Matthew 21:1–11, we’ll explore what it means to trust Jesus even when His plan looks different than ours. We all face moments when life doesn’t go the way we hoped, but Jesus invites us to follow Him with faith, knowing that His ways are higher—and better.

You’ll experience uplifting worship, a welcoming community, and a message that speaks to real-life challenges and hope. Whether you’ve been to church many times or are just curious about faith, we invite you to come and prepare your heart for Easter.

Join us this Sunday at 10:15 AM at Rockwell Church, 93 Midway Drive, Virginia, Minnesota. We look forward to welcoming you.
